Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours a golden Color with litte head.

Smell is not impressive at all. Little citrus smell. Could have called this beer an ale. It does smell clean though.

Taste is ok. Again not any hop taste at all. Maybe i'm used to the ipa's but I am getting nothing. It is a refreshing ale though, nice and clean taste, finishing dry, maybe that's the hops. I found them.

Mouthfeel is light and crisp. Again maybe used to the bigger ipa's and can't enjoy this like it should be enjoyed but for me it is a session yard work beer.

sure, average appearance and nose...but the taste kicks up nicely with a biscuity malt presence, not overly sweet, small hop note...it's the mouthfeel that saves it, allows the rather mellow notes present their best. i can live without a great appearance or nose...that of course makes a beer stellar, but this counts where it basically counts. good taste and mouthfeel. i can't slam it but i don't think i'll buy it again when we live in an age of unlimited choices with limited funds and time on earth...

A: Clear, deep golden body beneath an average sized head of bright white. Head retention and lacing are average.

S: Grainy malt with a bit of sweetness and a touch of floral hops.

T: As the nose suggests, this is a fairly straightforward beer that balances its grainy and lightly sweet maltiness with a sprinkling of floral and grassy hops over a moderate bitterness. Some apple-like yeasty fruitiness is present as well. It finishes with a bit of residual malt sweetness that fades relatively quickly leaving a smattering of leafy and grassy hops behind.

M: Medium bodied with a gently crisp, moderate carbonation. Smooth.

Overall: Consumed ice-cold it shows a little more balance; as it warms it becomes a touch sweet. The malt character is nice, and the hops are pleasant. It's fairly basic, but also readily accessible, giving it a good bit of drinkability for the mid-flavor market.

I have to assume this beer is no way shape or form represents the pale ales of Nova Scotia. If it did, it implies the island has never heard of hops. For a cheap amber ale, the beer isn't bad - with only a hint of macro character. There's a basic caramel malt and bread crust taste and maybe, just maybe the slightest touch of earthy hops.

I see this is labeled as an American Pale Ale here on BA. Wasn't sure exactly what a Nova Scotia Style might imply, though a more British origin seemed likely. Poured into a pint glass from a 12 oz. bottle which bears reference to St. Louis, Mo. of all places. The pour is pretty clear with a touch of haze, and moderate to deep straw in color. A half inch of white cap offers some retention. Rather light in color and a but unassuming and with a light carbonation.

Aroma is all adjunct initially and smacks of a macro lager. It does open up pretty quickly, showing a largely neutral graininess. Touch of lemon and a caramel/berry flavor that seems a bit artificial. Hops are pleasant but quite light and of a citric design, as the fruity malt presence is more forward.

Flavor is light and somewhat thin up front with neutral grain/straw notes. This segues quickly to the odd caramel/berry that presented itself on the nose. This odd character does have a decent lingering presence yet is a bit too reminiscent of a wine cooler of yore. Body is thin and lager like but matches the design of the beer adequately. Overall an easy drinking and fruity Leinenkugel-esqe brew as for what I assume are additives/adjuncts/syrups. Not a bad experience but a bit tame in the bedroom.

Poured from a brwon 12 oz. bottle. Has a deep golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is a bit on the malty side. Taste is also malty, rather mild, for a pale ale the hops are really well hidden. Flavor is not offensive but somewhat boring. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle marked 11097-BG-05. Sampled on April 29, 2011. Even though Keith's is from Nova Scotia, the label on these new Keith's Nova Scotia Style brews says St. Louis, Missouri. It pours golden yellow with a thin head. The aroma is pretty average but I get a halfway decent mixture of thin malts and thin hops and a little corn but the gut reaction is that this smells crisp and clean. OK body. The taste also combines a thin but reasonably well-balanced combination of malts, hops, and bread. It is refreshing in its own way and unoffensive.

A: The beer is a light gold color, with a short off-white head that fades very quickly and leaves a very thin lace on the glass.

S: The aroma contains light caramelized malts, some citrus and a touch of hops.

T: The taste starts out with mildly sweet flavors of apples, citrus and caramel followed by some breadiness from a thin malt character. The hops presence is very mild and brings a little bit of balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet.
